Goldfinger – 1964 AM DB5

Ever since I can remember, Aston Martin has been a big name in the world of cars. And the Bond films helped set that in motion with the car featured in the imperious Goldfinger. In typical Bond style, these famous cars came with a hilarious arsenal of “badboy” weapons, bulletproof glassing and even a radar screen.

Dukes of Hazzard – 1969 Dodge Charger

Ahh, the Dukes. It ran for six years as a TV show and even had a 2005 movie, and followed Bo and Luke Duke and their wild run through the most outrageous happenings and events from episode to episode. With two cars literally wrecked on average per episode, the title “Hazzard” certainly seems to be appropriate. The Dodge Charger is the most notable car of the show, known otherwise as “General Lee”.
